- Parkinson's disease (or PD) is a disease that slowly damages the central nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spine.
- When a person gets Parkinson's disease, the cells that make dopamine in a part of the brain die. Dopamine cells send information to other cells which makes us do the actions we do. Because of this, Parkinson's disease mainly affects the body's motor system.
- Parkinson's disease is a disease that gets worse over time. People normally get Parkinson’s disease when they are over 50 years old. It is sometimes very hard for doctors to detect.

Facts about Parkinson’s Disease

Benefits of Exercise for Parkinson’s Disease
Certain exercises may be helpful for specific motor symptoms of Parkinson's:
- For balance, consider tai chi and yoga.
- To improve coordination and agility, look into dancing or boxing.
- For significant balance problems or limited mobility, seated aerobic exercises can give a challenging workout that raise the heart rate.
- To target freezing of gait (sudden, temporary inability to move) or falls, find a Parkinson's-specific physical therapy program that emphasizes bigger movements with walking and activities and can help with fall prevention strategies. Talk to your neurologist about finding a therapist who specializes in Parkinson's.
- For dystonia -- muscle cramping that often affects the calves, feet or toes -- try lower impact exercises (water aerobics or walking, for example) that don't bring on symptoms. Stretching overactive muscles and strengthening the opposing muscles also may help. (A physical therapist can show you proper exercises.)
